We have a bunch of subcontract operations for things like Anodize, Paint, and Heat Treat. We may have more than one vendor that preforms these operations, but it is the responsibility of the purchaser to decide which vendor to use.
Should we setup individual resources for each of the possible vendors?
We setup a resource group for each subcontact op, and setup one resource for each of these groups. For example: Resource group ANO (Anodize), has resource ANO1. The RG is set as subcontract = true. And the Operation is setup as ANO-OVOP subcontract operation = true, and the only resource group is ANO.
